So, it was cold, sunny, grey and bright today. A real mix, and it was that mix that inspired me to have a little PaperArtsy fun. Working on a watercolour card, I mixed up a couple of gorgeous PaperArtsy colours and topped it off with a stencil and their fabulous Metallic Glaze .. So, what are you waiting for....go grab your paints Hugs Marion xxx

Apart from relaxing, chilling, shopping, eating, drinking and making,I've made a resolution this holiday season to do lots more videos and classes, some will be on-line classes with downloadable step by step PDF's, some will be tutorials on You Tube, so to make sure you don't miss any, make sure you subscribe to 'Marion Emberson' or Sugar and Spice Crafts on You Tube, it's also a good idea to make sure you're signed up to our newsletter on the website so you don't miss any news like the sale below !!!

Webster's Pages, seriously, I'm so lucky to get to play with these GORGEOUS papers for the Jones Design Team. What better way to start the New Year !!! Using some paint just give it a quick stroke OR four !!    Sometimes you see one of the papers in the collection, that isn't going with your layout but the colour within it is perfect, so I used this to cut out my title Take a dye based spritzer and give it a little flickage to add "drops"   next, take a glue pen and add some glitter  to give a little depth, layer up a doily  Don't forget to glitter up the elements on the design, they've done all the hard work for you all you have to do emphasise it.  Add a few more die cut bits and you're done, you really don't have to do a lot as the papers do it for you !! Happy New Year everyone Hugs Marion xxx
